Life Is Beautiful

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada

Dates: September 23 – 25

Founded by Rehan Choudhry as a means to revitalize downtown Vegas, Life Is Beautful has quickly become one of the more provocative and inspired events of the year. The festival is host to the more typical mix of buzzy musical acts, with great food from star chefs from around the world. But the most interesting contributions may be the installations featuring work by art insurgents like D’Face and MTO or the speaking panels with the likes of Bill Nye and Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh. Curated by CatalystCreativ, the somewhat dystopian atmosphere is the perfect setting for the innovation-based programing, and make sure you check out local attractions like the Container Park or The Neon Museum’s Boneyard.
